Kenya: Where Yoga Returns to the Earth
A Retreat Into the Heartbeat of the Land
Some places don't just welcome you—they awaken something ancient within.
Kenya is one such place.
When I first arrived in Kenya years ago, while living in Ethiopia, I’ll never forget my first steps on its soil. I was breathless, struck by the rich earth, vast sky, and the sensation of time slowing. It felt like another world, far from the noise and pace of modern life.
It was a return. A remembering. A heartbeat.
This is why I am honored, grateful, and excited to return, this time to host my next Yoga Retreat in Kenya, guiding others into the profound experiences that changed me.
A Land That Feels Alive: Why Kenya is the Perfect Place for a Yoga Retreat
From a yogic perspective, Kenya offers a rare and powerful energy that grounds you immediately. The land feels ancient, wise, and full of life-force.
Practicing yoga there feels different.
More embodied.
More spacious.
More honest.
The endless savanna invites the mind to unwind. The wind brings warmth and quiet. Wildlife moves with presence, teaching you to be present as well. Meditation deepens. Pranayama expands. Stillness comes easily.
The rawness of the land mirrors the rawness of yoga itself, a practice that returns you to your most essential self.
A Personal Remembering: The Moment Kenya Opened My Heart
That first time in Kenya, I watched the horizon glow as I drove. Everything slowed and softened.
There was no light pollution.
No rush.
No excess.
Just the vastness of nature and the steady rhythm of the earth.
At night, stars blanketed the sky, rare elsewhere. I felt humbled and connected, as if the land anchored me in the present.
The wildlife enchanted me; the people, even more so. Their warmth, generosity, and strong sense of community revealed how far Western culture has strayed from its roots. Kenya reminded me how to live simply, harmoniously, and with an open heart.
Those memories have lived inside me ever since, and they are one of the reasons I feel so passionately about sharing this land with you.
Why This Retreat Goes Deeper Than Yoga
My hope for this retreat is not only that you find rest, beauty, and renewal, but that you too feel the melody and heartbeat of the land.
I want you to experience:
We will weave together asana, meditation, pranayama, mantra, rest, reflection, and guided connection. Each day includes sunrise yoga, mindful walks in the savannah, and personal exploration, all supported by Kenya's primal energy. Details on dates, accommodations, meals, and travel are available upon inquiry.
This retreat is not just a holiday; it is a seven-day immersive experience. Group sessions, community engagement, and individual downtime are all included. All levels of yoga experience are welcome. Optional excursions and wellness treatments are available.
It is a return to the earth.
A remembering of what it means to be fully alive and fully connected.
Giving Back: Supporting the Africa Yoga Project
It is essential to me that this retreat leaves a positive imprint on the land and the people who welcome us.
Years ago, I connected with the Africa Yoga Project. Their mission empowers Kenyan communities through yoga, providing education, training, jobs, and emotional support where needed most.
To now return to Kenya and collaborate with them once again feels like a full-circle moment. It is a true honour.
During our retreat:
🌿 We will invite guest teachers from the Africa Yoga Project to share their stories and wisdom.
🌿 All equipment funded by the retreat’s proceeds will support their growing initiatives.
🌿 We will honour the land and the communities we engage with.
This travel is conscious, meaningful, and truly aligned with yogic values, union, compassion, and connection.
